[Archived] 5th Nov Blackburn V Chelsea Preview

[Rovermatt]

Some people eh? Sam is in charge of a team lording it with 31 points from 16 games. We have 6 from 11 and are bumping along and getting cut adrift in the relegation places.

You say Sam is anti football well it's quite obvious that Steve Kean is just a loser. I know what I prefer.

Please pay attention to a little piece of advice that I am going to give you HATRIX..... Never ever attempt to defend the indefensible.

I was in favour of Sam getting the boot (though not in favour of Kean I might add) but you are absolutely correct about Kean. Pure, 100% proof loser. No other way to describe it.

now all the decent teams are out the way bar manure. lets see what happens now, ill give kean the wigan game and thats it. that is a MUST win now.

I like Roberto Martinez but I think Wigan will drop this season. If we play anything like we have done over the last three games we'll beat them.

[philipl]

Kean was deliberately ignoring Samba for several minutes before he came off.

You simply risk aggrevating the hamstring injury pulling a stunt like that.

[Fraserkirky]

Worst game I've ever seen Hoilett play. I wonder if today we have seen his destination? Galling too that Lampard stooped to conquer right where samba should have been standing.

Two points that I was gonna bring up as well.

Hoilett was pathetic today, obviously chucks a moody when he's asked to play left mid. I watched the Everton game this morning and the play a very similar way to the way we are set up right now, and I don't like it at all. We shouldn't pick the ball up in midfield and work the ball backwards for robinson to punt 70 yards to Yakubu. Maybe we should use some speed on the attack, everything was so slow today.

I want Martin O'Neil in here asap. He would sort this rabble out in no time, with swift counter attacking football with speed on the wings and up front, I also think Hoilett would be the Agbonlawhore up front used to get in behind defenses. Play a 4-4-2 with Vuckevic(He is good I've seen him play)-Petrovic-N'Zonzi-Formica and then have either Rochina/Yakubu and Hoilett up front. If we do this at least we would have a spare striker on the bench. That was embarrising today chasing a goal with one striker!!!!!!!!!

Samba would have had that cross in row Z had he been on.

I'm amazed that he played at all. Particularly when he was 'never going to play for Kean again'

No,no,no,no,no! (*Don Logan mode off*). O'Neill is Allardyce x 10, he just dosn't get stick for it because he's a media lovey. That's the same reason he dosn't get pulled up for being a notright. I'd be truly gutted if that loon rocked up at Ewood.

For all the Kean fans out there.

Kn-b

[Tom]

Every time I see him Rochina impresses me, today with his passing, some of his through balls were sublime, what a player he could be. Shame we wont see the best of him

[Mc Love]

"...people see how well we're doing..."

We're f****** 18th in the table and won ONE game, you moron!

Who does he think he's kidding with this bullcrap?

Oh wait... Our friends in India. That's right.

Was just going to post the same thing after watching that - so thanks for posting!

More so than Kean staying in the job? I'd take Allardyce x 10 if it meant us staying in the league.

... And that Kean Almighty keeps taking him off.

Givet was also awesome today.

He does look like a real footballer, why wont we see the best of him?

As for Hoilett, he clearly dosn't want to play for Rovers. We aren't going to get a lot of cash for him anyway so give him his wish and don't play him. Easy after today's no-show, he can sit in the stands with his Dad.

[roverandout]

what angered me today the most, was the tosser behind me in the blackburn end who jumped up when the plane was going over the ground and shouted down to the people cheering it, calling them nobs and morons then the pillock stormed off and came back 10 minutes later, the guy sitting next to him was calling glen mullan a winker and calling the protesters all morons, i felt like punching him, i was behind rovers before that but after that stunt, i never sang another rovers song, really did pee me off, the guy next to him even called the people who helped pay for the plane, sad cases.

[Josh]

we didn't play well today but Chelsea where awful, we had enough chances to win the game 3 times over, and they were clear chances

Proud to be a "sad case"!!!!

[John]

Chelsea are obviously a good side however on the back of 2 defeats plus until today no clean sheets in 10 matches - we had chances but they had a few too.

[ihtd]

Sounds like the same tosser who had a go at the young man at the Norwich game for having a 'Kean Out' banner.

Seriously whatever happened to free speech? Probably the wrong thread for a repeated question.

Chelsea were there for the taking today, not playing their best football and we did have chances. Rochina is our best player IMO at present, he looks our most creative player yet when we are a goal down Coco subs him for a past it Dunny. I do not understand his thinking for a second week in a row.

What has Simon got to do to get a game in the EPL?

[Mike Graham]

Ha ha, look forward to meeting this tosser at Cardiff.

Though I don't agree with having a go at fellow fans for having opposing opinions - it isn't any different to the reaction that anyone on this message board gets that says anything that could be construed to be in any way pro-Kean (ask Roversmum).

Agree with you 100%, I mainly used the word tosser as the guy at Norwich was threatening to beat the crap out of the lad who posts on here.

[SharrockDownSouth]

aargh! MoTD seem to have the Kean bug, everythings positive, we can go on a run, really unlucky..

We still keep losing though!!

But if we were looking at things from an outsiders view point then things do look different. We were robbed last week and this week we were desperately unlucky not to get a point. The players did have some desire and fight. Surely even the biggest Kean haters will admit that?

I think Kean should have gone weeks ago. But it would seem the players are happy enough to play for him. All the rumours and hearsay to the contrary seem null and void when you see the actual performances. The next 6 games are huge. I firmly believe that if we continue our recent performance level we might just have enough to get through this puddle of sh!te we find ourselves in.

On a side note, if Samba is out for a few weeks it might just be the tonic Scott Dann needs. A chance to become a leader in place of our captain and current leader. Step up to the mark my son! Show us you're worth the money.

Despite the mess we are in i still believe we are not far off being a half decent side. A couple of wins and the resulting confidence would do this bunch the world of good.

[sharpysharps]

I thought Rovers were deserving of a draw today, it was an even game and they played well. Sadly playing well against he big teams and losing does not keep you in the Premiership. While I think Rovers performances have improved in recent weeks (actually since Paul Clement arrived I think - not sure how much it has to do with him though) Steve Kean aside (for once) I think Wigan away will pretty much determine the teams potential of survival this season.

And what's the common denominator? We're still dropping points. There's no escaping that simple truth no matter how Kean, Sky Sports, MOTD, The LET or our own naive fans try to dress it up.

How long do you give Kean? Seriously, I'm asking you. It seems to me that some of our fans won't wake up until we're rotting in The Championship next season.

[AlanK]

Normal crap coverage on MOTD.

Didn`t show Samba going off leading to a hole in our defence.

Not even a mention of the plane.

Its all ######.

There's desire and fight because we have a decent team, not because of Kean. With a half decent manager we'd be mid-table right now.
